Microsoft OneNote For Knitwear Designers
Have you ever known someone who is über-organized. They can find documents, remember things and are laser-focused on life? Not me. So, that’s why I use Microsoft OneNote.
Quick Overview of Microsoft OneNote
Someone described OneNote to me as the virtual equivalent to one of those 3-Subject spiral notebooks on steroids.
You can:
- Draw in it.
- Virtually “clip” and paste ideas into it.
- Doodle, scribble, or jot down ideas (and even convert hand-scripted notes to text).
- Add links, photos, videos, spreadsheets, e-mails, audio notes, etc.
- Works on smart-phone, tablet and desktop/laptop and synchronizes to all of them
- Search all your notes for a specific items easily.
And it can have as many “subject” sections as you want. It’s not just a 3-subject. It’s an infinity-subject notebook!
The search feature is what makes it awesome. In seconds, I can locate a page in my virtual notebook no matter how many millions of pages I’ve created.
As a person who uses mostly Apple products, many have suggested that EverNote is as good or better. This may be true, but I am familiar with OneNote and it does all (and more) than I need.

As noted, I finished the Provenance Mitts by MGZDesignsCo. and they are really fantastic.
I liked the pattern so much, I’ll be making another version. I’ll make the smaller version using the same yarn. Just reverse main color and contrasting color.
The gloves are fantastic. Love your color choices and Michael’s design!
